PART I : KI AND THE ARTS OF SEX, HEALING AND CORPORATE BODY BUILDING
"Everything - things, persons, and events - can be moved into the field of ki... The place where it proceeds is what is called psychic reality."
PART II : E PLURIBUS YAMATO: THE CULTURE OF CORPORATE BODIES
"Recent research on suggestibility and hypnotic phenomena have demonstrated how feelings and thoughts can be induced from outside and yet be subjectively experienced as one's own, and how one's own feelings and thoughts can be repressed and thus cease to be part of one's self... The same holds true of willing."
PART III : KI AND THE JAPANESE ART OF MINDBINDING
"To raise a strong, healthy corporate body thus requires two technologies. First, a series of cultural techniques to encephalize your population's ki, to shift its primary charge away from the self- intensive bonds of the lower complexes and up to the potential we- ness of the mind. And second, techniques to keep their ki concentrated within the group's psychic perimeter."
